I haven’t been able to install Docker or Ubuntu onto my computer. The first reason being I had Windows 11 Home installed. I upgraded to Windows 11 Pro.
Then I went to activate Hyper-V as per all the instructions I read and I noticed that I couldn’t include Hyper V Hypervisor – why? Because my CPU Visualisation was set to disabled. That’s where the fun started…
Everywhere I searched for how to activate visualisation told me to go into the BIOS via the UEFI settings (there are instructions online telling you how to do that) and THEN I needed to find something called Visualisation and enable it.
The trouble was I didn’t see anything called visualisation.
That started hours of searching and reading and trying different things. Each time I went back to my CPU it still said disabled.
It had been hours and I couldn’t figure it out. Eventually I decided to look through all the CPU settings search for any that are set to disabled to see what it does.
I finally found my answer.
I came across something called SVM Mode in disabled mode and when I searched “should I enable SVM Mode” the instructions said
“SVM mode meaning also refers to Secure Virtual Machine/Virtualisation mode in AMD BIOS.”
I had finally found what I was looking for and once I enabled it and restarted my computer my CPU says visualisation enabled… hooray!
I then went ahead and opened up Ubuntu which automatically installed and then opened Docker – both of which were unable to install before. Now I have them both working but I have no clue what I do with them LOL
I guess that’s where I go to next.
